I hear a lot of complaining about our country, and I've done some of it myself. I have to say, though---until we can go live in our real Home, we have it pretty nice as American citizens.

We flew back to the US on June 7th. Here is my list of things to be thankful for here at home.

Good roads; ease of travelUS prices--don't laugh; in Haiti gas is nearly $6 a gallon, USDStore shelves that are full of choicesCommunication--phone, internet, and etc available wherever you goClose contact with family and friendsElectricityAir conditioning and heatingHot waterClean cities and communitiesOur government and law enforcement systems --they may be far from perfect, but others are much, much worse

That's enough for now; I could go on and on, but I'll spare you that. :)
